12/22/80 enter_carry_request, ecr
Syntax: ecr paths {-control_args}
Function: Queues a segment or subtree to be carried to another site.
Arguments:
paths
are the pathnames of segments and directories. In the case of a
directory, the entire subtree is carried. The star convention
is allowed.
Control arguments:
-destination DEST, -ds DEST
specifies a destination site, where DEST is up to 23 characters
long. The carry queue used is named DEST.carry.ms. If no
destination is specified, it is carry.ms, the name added to the
queue for the default destination.
-queue_dir PATH, -qd PATH
specifies the queue's parent directory. The default is
>daemon_dir_dir>carry_dir.
-new_dir PATH, -nd PATH
applies to the preceding path argument and causes the entry to be
loaded under PATH instead of its original parent.
-notify, -nt
sends mail to the requestor when the request is dumped.
-no_notify, -nnt
suppresses sending of mail when the request is dumped. (Default)
-no_trim
suppresses the deletion, when requests are loaded at the target
site, of entries in target subtrees that do not appear in the
corresponding subtrees at the sending site. (Default)
-trim
deletes entries in subtrees at the target site that do not exist in
the corresponding subtrees at the sending site. The default is
-no_trim.
-user STR
where STR is of the form Person_id.Project_id, specifies the owner
of the carried entries at the target site, if different from the
user requesting the carry. When an entry cannot be loaded in place,
this control argument causes access to the retrieved copy to be set
for STR, rather than for the requesting user. It is needed if the
requestor is registered with a different name at each site. Default
for STR is the User_id of the requesting user.
Access required:
1. s to all carry administrators on the parent directory.
2. sma to the user and to all carry administrators on all directories
in a subtree being carried.
3. r to the user and to all carry administrators on a segment being
carried or on all segments in a subtree being carried.
If the user does not have sa access to the parent directory at the
target site, the entry is not loaded and a copy is loaded instead in a
directory under >daemon_dir_dir>carry_dir>copies.
If any directories in the pathname of a target entry do not exist,
they are created.
Notes:
See also list_carry_requests and cancel_carry_request. The carry
queue is read periodically and the requested entries are dumped on a
tape. This tape is mailed to the target site, where it is loaded.
The process that dumps and loads carry tapes belongs to a carry
administrator, a user with r and d extended access to the queue. In
most cases, there is only one carry administrator, for example
Carry.Multics.*

Historical Background
This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is provided and donated
to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc.
as a contribution to computer science knowledge.
This donation is made also to give evidence of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL
and BULL HN Information Systems Inc. to the development of this operating system.
Multics development was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC (1963-1970),
renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership
of Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the best software architecture
for managing computer hardware properly and for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems
incorporated Multics principles.
Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc.,
as successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and Honeywell Information Systems Inc. .
